Going to buy a Travel Trailer but have a few quesitons

I hope I'm posting in the right place for this, if not I apologize in advance. We have been looking at travel trailers but we are not for certain what we can tow. We have a 2000 Dodge Dakota QC 3.9...

Welcome to the Forum...you have gotten good and experienced advice from newman fulltimer and donn0128 above.

Your best bet is a tent trailer. The short wheel base, low payload Dakota is really not suited or designed for towing much more than a pop up or a small utility/garden trailer.

Also DON'T use the dry weight of any trailer you are considering...no one camps in a dry, empty trailer.

How may people are in your family...kids, dog, gear, etc.
Good luck with you search
